Corned Beef Fried Rice

I love corned beef so I get excited this time of year.  I was thinking of a new recipe to post when my best friend recommended that I make something with leftover corned beef.  It was an excellent idea.  Although we didn't agree on what I would attempt to develop, I chose corned beef fried rice.  It's a simple dish that doesn't take a lot of ingredients and I love fried rice.
